There are no pictures of the frogs in this article. For pictures (of thawed and frozen frogs) you can see: https://shakerlakes.org/frozen-frogs/

They also have a wiki, but not many photos. One photo is from Quebec.

The wiki also mentions that urea is produced, in addition to glucose, and both act as cryoprotectants.
